hmm my guess is that they're not, they're creatures just like humans. but since they can survive in the outside then that's a testament to just how strong they are

How did the Chimera queen bypass the 'suppose' barrier between the world and DC? The latest chapter ensured that there is a specific way to travel between the two worlds. Also, the queen was injured when she was seen. What injured her?

I saw the new episode and read the new chapter yesterday and was blown away by both.
Everything about the episode was amazing, action, animation, music direction, acting, everything was on point. Hunter x Hunter deserves such an amazing adaption for being such a great piece of work. I was saddened by Pitou's death at first but the more I thought about it the more I realized it was true to the arc and the character. She died noble, making sure Gon directed all his hatred towards her so his new strength wouldn't reach the king knowing if he used this Power he would never be able to use nen again. It's just another way the ants slowly grew more human and understanding while the humans got more underhanded in this arc. Really great episode.
The manga chapter was amazing too, great information and the art was on point like I kept saying it'd be. It seems HxH is looking to take a horror manga vibe for this arc and I'm interested in seeing Togashi do so. Every major arc has had a different feel and genre and I guess it's horror manga's turn to join in on the fun. Judging by his work on Yu Yu Hakusho I think he'll do a great job. Bring on next week.

this arc will have a badass villain deym
so every wedsnday is the release?
-
Naaah I'm sure he wanted to write a Mahou Shoujo serie featuring a moon princess, a talking cat, and some guy in a mask.
That´s actually quite funny, considering he married the woman that wrote Sailor Moon (maybe you know that though).

If there's going to calamities, will there be diseases, and then will Leorio be involved? Please, Togashi?
With a chapter like this, a YYH ending is pretty unlikely now. Besides, there's no point to one, as an eternal hiatus would pretty much have the same effect, but with less effort on Togashi's part involved.
I re-read the chapter..
And it kicks off with lots and lots of talking. I can understand the confusion as it needs a better translation along with someone to understand Togashi's apparently confusing Japanese. But I'm not sure about lack of "context". We already have the scenario, Beyond is organising a group to go to the Dark Continent which is full of danger and disaster. There are indeed finer details that might be missed out on,, and those would probably go away if you re-read it with the better translation phoenix_fire posted and thinking about it real hard. Basically the important point that you should get is that the DC is really dangerous, and brings calamities every time someone goes there.Holy crap, the 5 Calamities are nightmare fuel. It's definitely Togashi trying to be different from a happy, adventurous journey like say, in One Piece, and the total creepy opposite of it.
-
I always thought that HxH "happy" adventure was just a trap.
The guy gives a pretty generic always smiling shonen hero in a pretty cute scenario (ohhhhhh, an island shaped like a whale) and then proceds to murder people in bloody way. I never fetl like HxH was "a happy, adventurous journey like say, in One Piece". -

Wordiness and infodumps aside, the expedition into some twisted uncharted wonderland of horrors fits right in with what the hunters are supposed to be about - exploration of the unknown.

Get ready for the Hunt Trek into Darkness.

Imagine if Hellbell is not simply a giant snake that oozes lapse of reason, or an apparition of some nen mass that makes people go mad, but a small snake, easily trampled without knowing. But when you kill it it makes you twist into a cheese braid as a nen aftertaste, in addition to the hatsu of making people go full Survivor stand on each other. It came to the world in some poor lad's pocket as a "stowaway souvenir", quickly started breeding in masses and nobody would even notice anything, unless people started dying left and right out of nowhere. Wherever you step, you have a miniscule chance of dying a horrible death. Now THAT'S Togashi we know.
Also I guess Biorn sphere is not a humanoid, but a head stealing ball, judging from the headless and gutless body on that spread with five types of guro.
Calamities are such highly destructive presents that tag along back from the dark continent with unsuspecting voyagers. And each of them is foreign but survivable, so nature has no way of getting rid of them. And so they exist and multiply and there is no way of getting rid of them by simple means, thus each being a danger of wiping out everyone. At least it seems to be so right now.Edit: checked the Nanika chapters. There are twisted people when the orphanage school is mentioned. Well, that makes two kinds of chiropractic for Ai and none for Hellbell yet.
-
Well the people "just twisting from nowhere" is probably an indicator for nen, something like the indoor fish.
But then again we never had a sentient creature that's made completely of nen, and i hope the dark continent won't have them.

This is the entire subject of my unwritten/never-to-be-written fan comic entitled "Leorio Punching People for 30 Whole Goddamn Chapters." It features Leorio punching people for 30 whole goddamn chapters. The plot centers around Leorio needing to punch people and Leorio punches at least one person in every panel. Exposition is entirely through punching. "A true warrior speaks with his fists," Leorio would say in my fanfic. Through punching.

"The heavy dust of smoke started to blow apart. Sasuke had put all he had into that attack. He knew no one could have survived that. His mind drifted to his life-long sworn vengeance against his brother and the hate it had sprouted in all his life. He reflected on all the stupid decisions on his life. Then he thought about Chimichangas. Damn, he loved Chimichangas.
"What the hell are you spacing out for you doe-eyed-undead-crow-sucker-motherfucker?"
It couldn't be! No one could have survived that! But there he was. Unscathed through all the most powerful ninja techniques Leorio, like the hard motherfucker he was, stood with a grin in his face. He knew what was coming. It was punching time. Punching between-your-fucking-retarded-bitch-eyes time"

I don't think anybody is against Togashi spending more time on 'world-building' HxH since we haven't really been shown all the other continents and the 7th wonders as well as adventures of different animal and such.
It's only been shown to us in a glimpse during Chimera arc.
BTW, I'm all against Gon even thinking about going to DC until he first gone through all the places in the regular world. It doesn't make sense if he just decided to go DC and get himself killed because he have no experience in live-death nature.
-
i like hxh a lot on the whole
when i talk about the pseudo-philosophical bullshit i'm mainly pointing my finger toward the latter half of the Chimera Ant arc
Togashi changed his tone a shitload from the rest of the series right then. what he started doing then really cannot be said to be "what hxh is" because it just… wasn't there for the previous 200 chapters
it's ranged from low key to absent since then though
last arc was good and this looks really promising as long as he doesn't deliver too many monologues about how "man must realize his place as organism... his role in the world is not supreme" or whatever babby talk he wants to spillI don't get why people are hating on Togashi's philosophical inputs… I find them really good, the questions and ideas he brings to the table, i mean, in the end, anyone that can think for himself can be a philosopher, who believes in their own philosophy etc.... I like HxH the way it is, action, twists, philosophy, friendship, gore everything, and I don;t want anything to change
-
Yay, a new chapter. It's been a while, and I'm actually excited. Reading Togashi's work always has a different feel compared with other manga, even ones that don't have the same genre label. I'm intrigued, a little bit freaked out, and amused at the same time.

what I'm saying is things did change. The pages upon pages of high-school level philosophical narration only really started towards the final movement of the Chimera Ant arc. I much prefer the atmosphere and stylings of stuff like Greed Island and York New (and the Chimera Ant arc pre-invasion). However, I do enjoy what Togashi was doing with the King and the ants so long as it is taken as an experiment, and I think that's what it was, insofar as it pretty much ceased the second the King died.
and I'm happy that you enjoy Togashi's philosophies, though what I'll proceed to say may come off as somewhat insulting. I just find the half-baked almost-misanthropic vision he was spewing throughout the arc to be very hamfisted: very Linkin Park-esque. This is not to say that the themes he was considering can not be extrapolated upon or considered quite wisely, but the way he was dealing with it wasn't very good at all. Why talk about things like that if you're going to do it in such a dull way? Is it because he's writing for a younger audience? Well, the question still stands: why write like that? You're just imposing these very naive, somewhat miserable views upon an impressionable, unexperienced audience.

Hey guys, are the ants no different than us!? We are all just slimes marked by purposelessness and inconsequence and selfishness.

I wouldn't say that it was misanthropic … like everything in the CA arc, Togashi posits two sides to humanity. though we are capable of great and wonderous things, the opposite is also true. to deny this is to deny history. just turn on the news for ten minutes and you'll understand this. I think that you're misinterpreting the message as a whole as well. By no means does Togashi believe that the ants deserve to win out over an evil human race, but he wants to make it clear that humans aren't always the good guys. we fight for self preservation above all else
-
I decided to catch up to the manga from the anime and all I have to say is this series has been so fun to watch/read regardless of the art (except 337. I don't know what the hell happened there). Loved the CA ending, really enjoyed the Election arc, and excited for the Dark Continent arc. There's also a lot of text ._.
-
I gotta, admit, I'm hoping for some sort of time skip, 4-5 years at least. (even though I don't expect that there will be one)
The reason is because we have been hearing a lot about how talented Gon and Killua are, and how they have crazy potential. It will be real interesting to see what they'll be like in their late teens to early 20s. I'm assuming that the forced aged adult Gon was probably in his late 20s up to his mid thirties. (maybe even older)

I said "almost" misanthropic, an assertion I suspect is at least somewhat well justified by this page. http://mangasee.com/manga/?series=HunterXHunter&chapter=311&index=1&page=12 I don't believe the entirety of his message is that "humans SUCK!!" and I never said that, actually.
What I'm saying is if your interpretation of history, of destruction, of love, of conquering, of both the explicit and insidious forms of hate and power that have shaped the world is just a 7 page montage of African children starving and rich people drinking chardonnay, followed by the suggestion of secondary reading in the form of the news with the guiding thesis of "daYUM deez humans!!!", then I really have nothing to say.
I think this has been brought up before and I think it's apt to bring it up again: he went from the ants being a population of creatures that literally just trotted around shooting people with machine guns for really almost no reason to a sensitive and complex people. I get that. It's fine. I think aspects of it were really well done; but in the inevitable comparison to humanity he needed to use to really lift this overarching theme off the ground he just chose to show a bunch of really stupid shit. It was really the analog to responding with "you know there are starving children in Africa…" when you don't want to finish the food on your plate.

Is there a better scan of the chapter out? MS' translation is pretty confusing.
-
If you want to pay a subscription fee and have an android device, there is the WSJ app which has a Viz translator. There were some details in this thread earlier.
MP/MR just rehosted MS's version. There was also a script from 4ch a few posts back. Other than that, I don't know if any other groups are doing hxh.
-
It wasn't clear to me reading the chapter, but apparently the chinese translation implies that there are things called "hope" in the outside. Basically the opposite of calamities and something that might help humanity greatly.

In that better translation, "hope" is bracketed as "return on investment" which makes it sound more of a profit for humanity. It's something that they want to exploit and make money of.

Yeah this is more likely. So there's no concrete creature such as "hope", but the defeat of a calamity is what brings hope.
Example: Killua has "defeated" Nanika so he can now use its powers without consequence. -

NICE! Thanks! That was much better!

Like others have mentioned Alluka may be connected to two calamities, the other being the Viral murderous intent(or contagion).
It seems when the person being pestered, and their loved one die, they are simply crushed, like the image on the far left shows.
Though, when the bodies are shown of the people that died due to that, "make me a billionaire" wish, they are all twisted up, like the image on the far right.
Considering the snake is referred to as viral/contagion, when Nanika kills in mass, it spreads something like a virus, as in the people you've been in contact with most are the ones who gets it, just as you generally spread your sickness to the people who spend the most time around, and when people are killed this way, from what we've seen, their bodies are twisted up instead of crushed.
-
Wow. Just wow. This arc is going to be much much much darker than ant arc. That last page. The five calamity. It looks so full of despair and darkness. Dark continent will be the shit. Aarrrgghh im hyped. Damn you togashi!

! You've been assigned to here, the Tokko (Exceptional Travels Unit), it's an extremely important position encompasses all of the continents.
! Yes, I'm very aware of the fact.

! Well, alright. I don't do manga translations much, so it might be slow.
! Do you remember Article 1 of the staff covenant?
! "To do a comprehensive investigation of any individuals wishing to go to the new world, and to train them according to our rigorous protocol before considering them for review"
! "Staff members are obligated to accompany and put great effort into assurance of safety"
! In other words?
! We're not letting anybody into the new world.
! If it is unavoidable, we keep a leash on them.
! Right
! We're in a bit of a pickle regarding that very topic as we speak.
! Kakin, correct?
! As a non-member, they've been doing whatever happens to fancy them.
! Not only did they ignore the entire Tokko review process, they're allowing an unlimited number of participants.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Finally I understood the Zodiac conversation! Probably previous chapter where I got confused was because of the translation as well.
It seems like is possible that there isn't only 5 Calamaties in the Dark Continent. Is only said that when people went there brought one calamaty, and that there is 5 of them in human world, so possibly 5 exploration to the Dark Continent. It seems that Beyound Netero brought at least one of them when he decided to go to an unexplored route.

I hope that this arc wont play out with Gin going to the DC with the Zodiacs, only for them to go missing, resulting with Gon and co. heading to the DC in search of Gin.

I just started the anime and now I know what people mean when they say Naruto took some plot devices from Hunter Hunter. Also since the anime is so close to the manga what are they going to do when they catch up? Any news on this subject?

Can't remember what plot device Naruto used from HxH, if any.
Nothing official about what they're gonna do when they catch up, but it's been confirmed that they'll work on the latest complete arc in the manga (the one before the current arc Togashi just started). -
Chunin exams aka Hunter exams, also Special red eyes…

To be fair to Kishi some of these are just tropes in shonen manga, like having an evil organisation or a tough old lady who looks super young

And Togashi pulled them off better imo… Kurapika isn't as insufferable as Sasuke, that's for sure... And Hisoka is obviously way cooler than Orochimaru

Hisoka is awesome, but Orochimaru is not that bad. He´s pretty much the best villain of that series.

So we can explain part II of Naruto to Togashi going on hiatus and Kishimoto panicking and thinking "It's okay, you don't need to take heavily from other mangas. You can do this by yourself" ?

All ill say is Zabuza, and thats not saying much. most of those crossovers in plots are pretty typical to shonen in general honestly.
